The Mississippi River extends through much of the central United States and is the largest river system in North America. Lock and Dam 8 is located in a bluff-lined valley on the Upper Mississippi River approximately 0.5 mile south of Genoa, Wisconsin, between Vernon County, Wisconsin and Houston County, Minnesota on river mile (RM) 679.2. Lock and Dam 8 is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-St. Paul District. Symbiotics LLC is proposing the development of a hydroelectric power production facility at Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 8 near Genoa, Wisconsin. The facility would be located immediately downstream from Lock and Dam No. 8 at River Mile 679.2.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of constructing hydropower facilities at Lock and Dam no. 8, located on the Mississippi River, near La Crosse, Wisconsin. Several alternative powerhouse schemes were investigated. The 8.75 megawatt, 10-unit plant indicated in the 1981 reconnaissance is now considered economically infeasible. Two alternate developments using tubular generating units were selected for this new study. Because of relatively low over head, the powerhouse costs are proportionally high and project feasibility falls below unity.

This book, the 32nd volume in the Canada Among Nations series, looks to the wide array of foreign policy challenges, choices and priorities that Canada confronts in relations with the US where the line between international and domestic affairs is increasingly blurred. In the context of the Canada-US relationship, this blurring is manifest as a cooperative effort by officials to manage aspects of the relationship in which bilateral institutional cooperation goes on largely unnoticed. Chapters in this volume focus on longstanding issues reflecting some degree of Canada-US coordination, if not integration, such as trade, the environment and energy. Other chapters focus on emerging issues such as drug policies, energy, corruption and immigration within the context of these institutional arrangements.

Record breaking hurricane seasons, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, and intentional acts of mass-casualty violence, give lie to the delusion that disasters are the anomaly and not the norm. Disaster management is rooted in the fundamental belief that we can protect ourselves. Even if we cannot control all the causes, we can prepare and respond. We
